And another person said: "Ahhhhh congratulations 🥰 enjoy the newborn bubble it’s magical 💙."
Lucy announced she was expecting back in September, and earlier this month blonde star admitted the final stretch of her pregnancy had been a struggle.
At the start of January, she had been suffered from Braxton-Hicks contractions as her body prepared to give birth, and it was clear they were proving to be rather painful.
Sharing the update on Instagram Stories, the worried mum-to-be wrote: "Why are my Braxton-Hicks painful? Do any of you know? Am I just pathetic?"
Braxton-Hicks - regularly dubbed ";practice contractions" - are perfectly normal during pregnancy and involves your tummy getting hard and your body experiencing something similar to bad period cramps.
They are caused by the tightening of the muscles in the uterus.
It is not clear why they happen, but most doctors believe it is the womb preparing itself for labour.
